    The Senate was designed to be undemocratic from the start. Originally designed to represent a lower level of State against the people. Federal state versus local state. In a truly democratic system there is no reason to keep it around. It doesn’t serve a useful purpose. No amount of adding seats will fix it. It represents an unwarranted concentration of power.

    As to age limits I am also generally against them however. The retirement home known as the Congress has a massive issue. We have one of the largest proportion of the oldest people serving in government. And that’s not good. We need younger people looking to secure a future for themselves. Not decaying corpses looking to secure what they’ve already got against the future.

    But again this is all just dealing with symptoms of the state and not the problem that is the state.
